we think students of Darien’s high school are very respectful and responsable with all things in their school. They learn a lot about manners and practice this in the classes and lunch.- Melany and Paula J

thank you for your comment! It means a lot to our class that you watched it and appreciated the message we tried to convey. We value our manners and courteous behavior greatly here in class, but strive just as hard to share that with the rest of the school, and now the world! We hope you learned about us and the courtesy we try to observe!

Thank you so much for watching this video! We are so happy to hear from you and hope you were able to learn something about our school! We believe that courtesy is one of the most important behaviors in life, and that it is essential to be kind and respectful to others. I hope that you are doing well, and I hope to learn more about your school in the future!

Thank you for your comment. I agree with you both because the students at Darien High School are very kind and loving. We here, at Darien High School, hope that many people watch our video and learn something about courtesy that we learned as well.

Hello Melany and Paula:
We are very excited to have received your comments on this video! Courtesy is very important to us, and we try to be as respectful as possible at all times. It is true that we learn a lot about how to behave ourselves and how to convey respect to others. In Spanish class, we practice good manners throughout the period, greeting our professor “good morning/afternoon” and “goodbye” when we leave class. Being courteous shouldn’t be a chore, so with this video, we add some excitement and fun to being well-mannered! This video goes to show how fun being a student at Darien High School is.
We really appreciate your comments and hope to hear again from you soon.
Sincerely,
Katie E.
Junior (Grade 11) at Darien High School

Thank you very much for your comment, y for your compliment. It’s true many of the students at Darien High School are respectful and responsible. These values that we have, we practice every day. We don’t go to classes to learn these values, however it is something that we do learn. This is because in order to be a good student you must be responsible and respectful. We were able to learn these values from wonderful teachers that want to teach us. Without teachers like them we would not be able to learn how to be responsible and respectful students.

Having courtesy for others is always number one. Courtesy will make the world happier and a much better place. Having courtesy means to put others in front of yourself and to respect others no matter who they are, their background, or opinions.

Thank you for your comments. In my opinion, some of the students at Darien High School do a great job of showing their respect for their faculty and fellow students. I see many students greeting teachers as they walk into a classroom and thanking them as they leave. These actions of courtesy are very important when communicating with others and go a long way. We are glad that you guys enjoyed the video!

Hello Emilia and Belen,
Thank you for your comments! School in the United States can be very fun and we have lots of sports, music, and art activities here at school. It is important that we are all kind and respectful to one another because it makes the school a happier place. Our teachers help us learn how to act courteously by treating all of us with respect. They lead by example and we are very grateful for them. Again, thank you so much for your comments. We really appreciate it and hope you like the video!
Sincerely,
Alexa H.

Thank you Emilia and Belen. In our school we have a lot of activities and the activities help us with our human values. In our school it is very important to use courtesy in every situation with friends and teachers. I think that the teachers have a lot of influence on the courtesy that the students use. The relationship between the students and the teachers is very good.

Hello friends! My name is Meghan. I am very excited to receive and respond to your comment. I am a Junior at Darien High School. We learn many important life values at Darien High School. We have big responsibilities. Respect and good manners are very important in my school.
Yes, there are many activities here, especially sports. There are also clubs at my school to learn about other things. There are clubs for languages, film, ballroom dance, gardens, and many more. I am a part of the ballroom dance club. Thank you for your comment!

I am so happy that you liked this video. My name is Kelsey Vrooman, and I am a junior in Sr. Smith’s class. Darien High School does have a lot of activities such as sports, art, and theater. When we do these activities, we make sure that we show each other respect and courtesy. It is important that we have good manners because all good relationships are built on good manners.

Thank you Emilia and Belen for responding to our video! We have many funny moments throughout our days and enjoy learning new things in our community. We believe that courtesy should be emphasized more in order to establish a more respectful community and are glad we get to spread the words about its importance. One thing I have learned this year is to “unplug” myself from the world of technology and enjoy more of the special moments in life, which is highlighted in this video. I believe the conversations we have face to face are more important than the ones we have over text because one cannot read the tone and expression one will have when reading a text.

Thank you Emilia and Belen for having responded to the video. I am so happy that you took the time to watch our video and also left a wonderful comment. I am also glad that you found our video funny! We have a lot of fun at our school; however, we are looking to have fun while also by courteous and using good manners. Through this video we hope to improve our manners at this school and inspire other schools to work to achieve the same goal. In this day and age, manners are being used to a lesser extent in some situations, and hopefully with your help, and the help of other schools, we will be able to improve the manners of our generation.
Your Friend,

We are so happy you enjoyed the video! My name is Taylor, and I am a student at DHS. As seen in the video, courtesy and manners are very important at Darien High School. Many students respect each other and their teachers. Students do activities that help them learn manners, because they are essential to know! Values are learned by meeting a lot of people and learning in class. Also, many people learn their values from their parents. Although some do not have good manners, it is very easy to learn. Anyone can start by just saying “Good Morning”, “Please”, and “Thank You”.These phrases are very polite and will make other people happy! Thank you again for your comments.

Thank you for watching our video! Here at Darien High School we enjoy including some humor in our everyday learning and we hope that you learned a lot about how we practice manners and respect in our daily lives at school. We believe that courtesy and respect for everyone and anyone, regardless of their gender or age, is essential. In order to have success in life, you must be courteous with everyone that you interact with– your friends, family, peers, and teachers. I hope that we can continue to communicate with one another in the future.

Thank you for expressing interest in the activities of Darien High School. Students truly immerse themselves in a variety of activities, and each new interest they develop adds diversity to the environment of the school. Courtesy is one of the traits my teachers value most in their students, and the best of our teachers set examples of respectful conduct for their students to follow. Respect creates a mutual bridge that allows individuals to better express themselves to others while also making others more receptive to their thoughts and emotions. The ability to express oneself genuinely is a human value, and is appreciated in some way by all. Thank you again for your comment.

I am a student at Darien High School, and I would like to thank you for watching the video. Yes, schools can be fun and funny in the United States, but we also try to be respectful to one another, something that you all also try to achieve. I hope that you all found our video to be helpful in thinking about some values and manners that seem to be missing nowadays in society and that you, of course, apply them in your own schools. Let us know if you have any questions about the manner in which we try to be polite, for we would be happy to answer them.

This video shows the manners how be a good person with the form that we must behave. Este video nos muestra las maneras de como ser una mejor persona con la forma que debemos comportarnos.- Allison and Paula M

I agree with you! To be a good person, it is important to have good manners, especially in the classroom. After watching this video, I have learned that when I arrive late to class, it is better to say “excuse me” to the teacher to show the best form of courtesy. Now, if I arrive late to class, I am going to always say excuse me to my teacher and class. Which was your favorite part of the video, and what are you going to do from the video to have better manners in class?

Thank you for your comment, all of the students and my teacher worked very hard to create this video. I agree with you all, good manners and respect are very important, and its about the little things every single day.

Thank you for watching this video! I am a student in Darien High School, in 11th grade, and I agree that courtesy should be practiced in all professional settings especially in schools. Courtesy is a part of the first impression you make on other people so it is important to follow good manners. Después de ver este vídeo, yo aprendí que yo necesito considerar las sugerencias de todos antes de llegar a una conclusión. Es importante que escuchemos con respeto a todos. Nos divertirmos haciendo el video.

Do you all have other ways you show courtesy and respect that you think Darien High School students should be doing? Are there cultural differences in formalities that you think we should implement in the United States? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thank you Allison and Paula for responding to our video. I agree that this video helps us all become better people by teaching us how to be courteous. If we all behave in a courteous and kind fashion, we can make the world a better place.

We truly appreciate the time that you took out of your day to watch our video! We worked very hard to create it and hope that with it, we are able to spread a message of love and respect in order to make this world a more caring and kind place. I completely agree with what you both said; this video serves as an important tool to educate others about how we should behave in our daily lives when interacting with the people around us. Most importantly, I think that this video will help foster a caring school environment, where teachers and students can teach and learn in harmony.
I hope that you enjoyed our video and hope that we can continue to communicate in the future!

Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video! The students and our teacher worked very hard to make this video, so we are glad you enjoyed it. I agree with you that we have to be respectful and that we have so much to learn from this video.

Hi Emilia P, Emily M and Salome N! Thanks for watching our video. We strongly believe that being courteous and respectful is the way to live our lives. We can start a ripple effect, teaching others to be kind. I agree with y’all! Some of our boys are very handsome here, but most importantly they can be very kind. Live a respectful life.

Thank you for this kind comment. We are thrilled that you all enjoyed this video. Here at Darien High School respect and courtesy are very important values for the students and faculty. I know the students and teachers worked hard to make the video the best it could be and I am glad that you are able to see what our students and faculty are like and how we interact with one another. It would be so cool to learn what the similarities and differences are between our school and your school. Hopefully in the future we will be able to make a comparison between both of our schools. Thank you again for your nice comment.

I find the part about saying ‘excuse me’ or ‘pardon’ instead of saying ‘what’ all the time to be very true. I think our generation doesn’t even realize that saying ‘what’ all the time instead of ‘sorry’ or ‘excuse me’ is actually rude. The key is to realize it now before it is too late. We need to start by changing the little things we do without even realizing it: being on our phones, saying ‘what,’ not saying ‘thank you’ or ‘please,’ excuse me, etc.

I agree with you, the topics mentioned in the video are very important and we all must follow them. Courtesy and being respectful is very important especially for life after high school, as for future jobs. Here at Darien High School, we all value courtesy and respect one another. Yes, we also have our silly moments too.

We are all very happy to read your comments about the video, and everyone will be writing to you next week. The boys and girls had a lot of fun making the video as a present for the whole school. We believe that if everyone is kind, polite, respectful and helpful to others, the world will be a happier place for all of us.

Some people from Ecuador live here, near our school. They are really wonderful people, and are polite to everyone – just like the students in the video.

We have about 1600 students in our school. In our country, we call the four high school grades “Freshmen (Grade 9),” “Sophomores (Grade 10),” “Juniors (Grade 11),” and “Seniors (Grade 12).” We hope that all our students will always be as polite and kind as the people in the video.

¡Hola Melany y Paula!
¡Estamos emocionados de haber recibido sus comentarios sobre nuestro video! La cortesía es muy importante para nosotros. Tratamos de ser respetuosos todo el tiempo. We also learn how to behave ourselves and how to convey respect to others in Spanish class. We practice good manners throughout the period. It is important to be respectful to not only adults but other peers at school as well. Ser cortés no debería ser un trabajo duro, así que con este video, agregamos un poco de emoción y diversión también.We really appreciate your comments. Hope you enjoyed this video and our response!

Thank you so much for watching our video! We hope that we did a good job spreading awareness to be more courteous in and outside of the classroom. This was a fun project to make and the students were so happy to share this experience with you all. It means so much that you guys watched our video and we hope that you will use this in the future. We all feel it is very important to be nice to one another every day, and courtesy is the best way to achieve that.

Hi there, I’m Rafa and I’m from Mexico Puebla.
I like too much this video, it was so fun and I could see how is the school there, and also how you improve your values in the school.
Here in Puebla they’re lots of people that show you that Mexico is great and the people has a lot of values, sometimes more than people think in other countries.
